Our first session is just a few days away on April 6th and it promises to be a busy one. I have a couple important reminders for that session.
1) Since our first Ceremonial and Supreme Queen’s visit is on August 27th, our April session is the last opportunity for proposals to be read in time for that event.
So, do you have someone in mind to propose but were waiting for just the right opportunity? That opportunity is NOW! Just think of how special it would be for that woman to be initiated into our beautiful Order while the Supreme Queen is here. It’s an opportunity that includes performances by our three units, a wonderful banquet that follows and the chance to meet the Supreme Queen. This will make a life-long impression on those new Ladies of the Household.
2) April is the month for fundraising requests! We make these presentations every year to make sure that fundraisers do not occur at the same time. Additionally, fundraisers that are held must report back at the next Nydia Temple Stated Session to let us know what proceeds were gleaned from your efforts. Does your club or unit plan some fundraising this year? I’m assuming – and hope – so! Please have your fundraising requests ready for presentation.
Queen Nancy
Ladies of the Household:
Your officers have been practicing their parts and we’re ready to go for our first Session which will be on Wednesday, April 6th! We’re so excited to be able to meet with you all in person for this new year. You can expect us to be wearing our dresses that we wore at Installation, complete with the corsages that were given to each officer – a Nydia Temple tradition.
So, let’s talk about something that many of us look forward to when we go to Session – food! What’s for lunch? Well, our dear PQ Jennifer Moyer and Pr. Carol Pratt will prepare Chicken Salad Caprese accompanied by French bread and a “surprise” dessert. The cost will be $10. Lunch will be served at 11:15 to allow adequate time to eat, converse and clean up before our 12:30 session start.
I look forward to seeing you all on Nydia’s garden path on the 6th! Queen Nancy
